Question 1

How much cheaper is treatment in Vietnam than in the US?

Accepted Answer

Across the bands above, most procedures run 60–80% below US pricing. The gap is widest for complex intervention such as cardiac work and narrowest for orthodontics and screening. Those figures exclude flights and accommodation, so for procedures at the lower end of the table you should add travel before comparing.

Question 2

Do these prices include Handle's fee?

Accepted Answer

No. The table is the medical cost at the treating facility. Handle's coordination fee is quoted separately in the same document, so you can see what goes to the hospital and what goes to us. We take no commission that raises the price of your treatment.

Question 3

Do I have to pay anything up front?

Accepted Answer

The first consultation and the written quote are free and carry no obligation. You pay only after you have the quote and have agreed the treatment plan. Medical costs are paid directly to the treating facility on that facility's terms.

Question 4

Will my insurer at home cover treatment in Vietnam?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the policy. Some international plans cover elective treatment outside your country of residence; others cover emergencies only. We prepare records, invoices and a discharge summary in English in the format insurers usually ask for, but the coverage decision is your insurer's.

Question 5

Can the cost change after I have been quoted?

Accepted Answer

Not for treatment inside the protocol you were quoted for. A change happens only if your condition differs from the records supplied, or if a complication needs further intervention — and in both cases you are told and asked before anything proceeds, never billed afterwards.

Question 6

What does a full treatment trip cost in total?

Accepted Answer

Four things: the medical cost at the facility, Handle's coordination fee, flights, and accommodation beyond your inpatient days. The first two are in the quote we send you. The last two you arrange yourself, and we give you an estimate against the expected length of treatment so you can total it.
